==== Step | ==== Step Five - Add info about collections ==== | ||
13. Quickly review the repository website to see if there is any additional information that might be helpful to the user regarding how to research at that repository. Avoid listing hours open and instead link to this information as they change frequently. If there are collections you want to state, write a brief description of what is available in a bullet list or a VERY short paragraph below the contact information. This information can include specific genealogical collections, instructions on how to use the facility, any fees necessary to access the collections, or anything else that is helpful for the user. When adding a '''bullet list,''' in wikitext use a colon before the bullet (asterisk in wikitext) to make it indent. This helps with the display of information. Below is an example of wikitext and what displays on the wiki page. Try to keep each statement short and to the point for easy reference. The user can always go to the repository website to get more clarification. The following examples of descriptions are found on the [[Iowa Archives and Libraries|Iowa Archives and Libraries wiki]] page. <br> | 13.
